Planting Guide

• When to Plant: Set bulbs in the ground in fall before the soil freezes.
• Where to Plant: Pick a sunny spot with at least 6–8 hours of light daily.
• Soil Needs: Use loose, fertile, well-draining soil. Mix in compost or organic matter if needed.
• Depth & Spacing: Plant 6–8 inches deep and 4–6 inches apart.
• Watering: Water well after planting to settle the soil around the bulbs.

Ongoing Care

• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist in spring while plants are growing, watering deeply about 1–2 times a week. Avoid soggy soil.
• Mulching: Add 2–3 inches of mulch to help retain moisture and reduce weeds.
• After Blooming: Remove spent flowers but let foliage die back naturally so the bulb can recharge for the next season.

Growing in Containers

• Pot Size: Choose a container at least 12 inches wide with drainage holes.
• Soil: Use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix.
• Watering: Water regularly, letting excess water drain out. Containers may dry out faster than garden soil, so check often.
